An Ostrich Race.

We were treated to an exhibition which
was novelty worth travelling miles to
see-an ostrich race. Two little carts,
the frames of which were made of BAN
boo, and the wheels similar to those of a
ve1ocipede weighing, all the gear includ-
ed, thirty pounds, were brought
forth and four very large ostriches train
ed to the business and harnassep abreast
were attached Ito each one. The race
course was fiat piece of country about
AZ miles in length; the distance to be
travelled was miles straight away and
return. Two of the smallest specimens
of African humanity ever seen, less than
four feet in heighth, and weighing about
seventy-two pounds apiece, Bojesmen,
pure and simple, were selected as chariO-
teers, and all was ready. J had been
provided with magnificent sixteen hand
high English hunter, having record
placing him among the very best saddle
horses of Cape Town, and was quarter
way toward the turn of the course push
Ing my fresh steed to do his bess, when
the feathered bipeds started. and before
I reached the turn the ostrich chariots
had passed me going and returning like
flash of lightning. 1 did see them, but
that pen picture valuable for its accur-
acy, cannot be given. The time, taken at
the starting point by several of the spec
tators was for the four miles and return,
nearly nineteen minutes, not very fast
for ostricnes, so they said, but too rapid
for English hunters I know.

Gambling Forty-niners.
Overland Monthly.

There was French woman who PLAYED
the violin, receiving 500 day therefor;
and as women were so scarce in those
days, whenever she left the saloon to 90
out On the street, every saloon around
the square was emptied to get look at
her. In these saloons there were piles of
gold, both In coin and in sacks of gold
dust, that would put some of our COM
mercial banks of the present day to the
blush, and long tables that had their
croupiers ready torake in or pay out as
fast as the cards were turned off. l nave
often watched some novice who was put
ting down his first ventures at play On
one occasion [ saw at the same table two
clergymen shove their coin under an
other mans arm on the table. l knew
them both and know of what speak-4we
are all mortals after all Among other
noted players was judge at that time
who made it point every evening to go
around from place to place and made
high play. Upon entering with his at
tendant, who carried the sack, he would
first sit down at table and bar off every
other player; then set his time of play at
limit say 20 minutes Or half an hour,
the stake from $4,000 to $4,000, with
the bank. Mean time to keep the crowd
that would be in at the time, which would
number from 800 up to near 1000, he al
ways asked them all to take a drink, which
meant % cents head for the bar; and if
he won he paid for the drinks; if he lost
the bank had them to pay for.

Charles Dickens's Grandmother
London Daily News.

Old Mrs. Dickens was house-keeper at
Crewe in the time of the first Lord Crewe,
the grandfather of the present holder of
the title, and of his sister, the first Lady
Houghton. Lady Houghton used to
speak with enthusiasm of Mrs. Dickens's
wonderful powers as a story-teller. 1t
was her delight as child to listen to the
tales which the old lady was able to relate
with much dramatic force and feeling,
and it was with the greatest interest that
later on in life, Lady Houghton recog-
nized in the iIlustrious author of "Ddvid
Copperfeld" the grandson of the favorite
Of her childhood. Old Mrs. Dickens had
ore grievance which Lady Houghton re-
called. It was the conduct of her son
John-CharIes's father-against whose
idleness and general incapacity she was
never tired of inveighing. There have
been many conjectures as to the source
from which Dickens derived his wonder
full gift as story-teller. It Is hardly a
far-fetched fancy to suppose that he in
herited his special gift from the old house
keeper at Crewe.

Vandalism in the White House.
Philadelphia Leader.

Notwithstanding the largely increased
number of visitors to the White House,
the damage to the furniture and window
hangings has been less than formerly.
This is perhaps, attributable to the fact
that the attendants have maintained stric-
ter watch rather than TO any dim1nutlon
of the singular propensity of the average
American tourist to write his name in
prominent localities and to carry away
souvenirs from historical places. In for
mer years pieces have been Clipped from
the furniture, the lace and other hang
mos of the White House by visitors.
The results of these acts of vandalism
are exhibited with freedom and degree
of cblio uity that indicate on the part of
the perpetrators sense of individual
proprietorship in every form Of public
property. The prevalence of this pro-
Density for multitation induced the auth
critics to close the Washington Monu-
ment to the admission of visitors.

THE WAY TO FAIRY-LAND.
MORAN PERRY IN ST. NICHOLAS.

What is the way to fairy land?
Which is the road to take?
Over the hills or over the sand
Where the river ripples break?
The bills stand listening night and day
AS if to a wonderful tale;
The river whispers along its way
Secrets to every sail.
They must be listening and whispering there
With the fairy-folk. / know,
For what but this is the sound in the air
So sweet and soft, and low?
The sound that floats DER the misty hills,
And runs with little shiver,
AS of a thousand musical trills,
Over the running river.
o hills that stand SO lofty there.
Listening night and day,
Listen to nae and show me where
The fairy-folk do stray!
And river, river, whisper low,
Whisper me low and sweet,
Tell me the secrets that you know
